[Opensim-users] OpenSimulator event recording module

[Dahlia Trimble]

Personally I'm not a big fan of tapping into user's instant messages. I'd
hope that those considering using such a module would respect their users'
expectation of privacy. However if you do choose to use such a module, it
may be beneficial to make sure you will be operating within any wiretapping
laws that may apply before doing so.

I'm hopeful that OpenSimulator can flourish as a platform where users'
rights are respected.
